Match List-I with List-II and select the correct answer using the code given below the Lists : List-I (Hydroelectric power station) A. Srisailam B. Sabarigiri C. Hirakud D. Sileru List-II (Location in the map)
Explanation
The hydroelectric power stations are matched to their geographical locations in India as follows: (A) Srisailam is located on the Krishna River, spanning the border of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana [3]. (B) Sabarigiri is a major hydroelectric project situated in the Pathanamthitta district of Kerala [1]. (C) Hirakud is one of the world's longest dams, built across the Mahanadi River in Odisha [1]. (D) Sileru (specifically Upper and Lower Sileru) is located on the Sileru River, a tributary of the Sabari River, flowing through the border regions of Andhra Pradesh and Odisha. On a standard map of India, these locations correspond to the coordinates: Hirakud in the east (1), Sileru in the south-east (2), Srisailam in the south-central (3), and Sabarigiri in the far south-west (4). Thus, the correct sequence A-B-C-D is 3-4-1-2.
